#1905 How Hard Is Too Hard? - Bobby Cappuccio 57:08

4h ago57:08

57:08

"Go hard or go home".. advice (I use that terms loosely) that has been handed out to all kinds of people in all kinds of situations for ever. But is it actually wise counsel? Me thinks not, Your Honour. In his weekly visit, Bobby and I talk about the 'good old days'(?) when we destroyed ourselves (and others) in the gym - all in the name of peak pe…

#1904 Is Your Phone Giving You ADHD? - David Gillespie 33:51

1d ago33:51

33:51

You probably won't be surprised when I tell you that the incidence and diagnosis of ADHD has increased a bazillion percent over the last two decades (well about 1,100 percent in Australia, to be more accurate). According to Gillespo, it's got something to do with our 'dopamine set point' and also marketing people who are strategically trying to hij…

#1901 UNSTUCK-IFICATION (The Process of Getting Unstuck) - Harps (PT2) 25:57

4d ago25:57

25:57

Hey Team, hope you’re great! I’m being an awesome son for a day or two, so I thought we’d revisit this episode that I recorded a while back, which was really well received, and I think it might be timely for some at the moment. *Treading water. Spinning our metaphoric wheels. Stuck in a Groundhog Day of mediocrity, dissatisfaction and frustration. …

#1899 Tech, Extortion & Chinese Cars - Patrick Bonello 51:43

6d ago51:43

51:43

TYP'S resident geek (Patrick) is back trying to share the tech love - and while he did a pretty good job - I gotta say, this episode was one of the funnier, more inappropriate, revealing and irreverent experiences l've had in eight years of podcasting. Having said that, if you're easily offended, this probably ain't for you. Enjoy. Or avoid. See om…

#1898 Interviewed By A Listener (the last bit) - Kelly Smith 55:58

7d ago55:58

55:58

In part 3 with Kelly, we unpacked her last five questions and they, are these... 1. When did you stop equating your physicality with contentment/happiness? 2. What's next after the PhD? 3. You have the opportunity to interview anyone - dead or alive - who is it and why? 4. Name one thing that you have learnt in the course of your PhD that has absol…

#1897 Interviewed By A Listener - Kelly Smith (PT2) 28:21

8d ago28:21

28:21

Kelly Smith is a long-time TYP listener and when I recently did a callout for some listener questions, Kelly volunteered to be the on-air asker of said questions. Rather than do that, I suggested she come up with some originals, slide into the virtual TYP studio and interview me on my own podcast. And she did. Not surprisingly I waffled, so this ch…

#1895 Dr. Cam 2.0 - Dr. Cam McDonald 42:39

10d ago42:39

42:39

Dr. Cam just got back from Bali where he did a deep dive on.. Dr. Cam. He went to the metaphoric room of mirrors for a long hard look, and he told me (us) it was one of the most powerful and amazing experiences of his life. I'm gonna say up front, I loved this chat. The Doc was incredibly raw, real and humble as he unpacked his recent life-changing…

#1894 More Q & A - Harps 37:59

11d ago37:59

37:59

In this episode I’m exploring more listener questions.

#1893 What Makes Someone A Survivor? - Bobby Cappuccio 45:05

12d ago45:05

45:05

Of course, there's no single answer to that question - there are countless factors and variables. But with that in mind, Bobby and I had a chat about one of our favourite books (and one of the most influential psychological books of the 20th century): ‘Man's Search for Meaning’ by Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, Dr. Vikt…

#1892 The 'Old-Fashioned' Disease That's Rampant - David Gillespie 27:33

13d ago27:33

27:33

Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood - 'once called the disease of Kings' because only rich people got it - and over the last decade or two, new cases have exploded across all social, cultural and financial demographics (so not just rich people). Historically, it was believed that gout was caused …

#1891 What's The Worst That Can Happen? - Dr Jodi Richardson 54:25

14d ago54:25

54:25

"What's the worst thing that can happen" is a question l've asked myself repeatedly over the years and many times it's been the single strategy that got me to say yes to things I needed to, which were often also the things that scared the metaphoric sh*t out of me. Believing that I could survive the worst-case scenario is often what got me to take …

#1890 How to Lose 10kg in 9 Hours - Tammy Van Wisse 40:50

15d ago40:50

40:50

That title is not even a joke. Tammy Van Wisse actually lost 10kgs in 9 hours (and 6 minutes), swimming forty kilometres in the extremely cold water of Loch Ness, while trying not to get eaten by a f**king monster. This was Tammy's second visit to TYP and this chat was a truly fascinating insight into weirdness and wonder of marathon swimming at th…

#1888 The Evolution of Religion - Dr. Bill Sullivan 59:39

17d ago59:39

59:39

Dr Bill is back for another chat and as Mary Harper would say "this was a goodie". Among other things, we talk about the evolution of religion (sounds contradictory doesn't it?), the beliefs we have that we didn't choose, being emotionally attached to a particular ideology, philosophy and/or theology, religion being the ultimate drug, the 'self' as…

#1887 All Or Nothing - Bobby Cappuccio 44:54

18d ago44:54

44:54

Bobby's back informing, educating and inspiring us towards bigger and better things. Or maybe, smaller and better things? Among other things, we talk about whether the 'all or nothing' approach is an effective or ineffective protocol on the 'thinking, doing and being better' journey. Personally, I'm all for some strategic 'nothing' days. Enjoy. See…

#1886 What's Your Body Saying? - Lucas Aoun 52:37

52:37

Lucas Aoun is a Melbourne-based naturopath, biohacker, and health optimisation expert renowned for his work in enhancing human health and performance through cutting-edge strategies and now, he's pretty-much a TYP regular (it's his third visit). I gotta be honest, this chat was as funny as it was educational and inspirational. Admittedly, we may ha…

#1885 Digital Resurrection - Patrick Bonello 52:16

20d ago52:16

52:16

To be honest, the idea of a loved-one being 'brought back to life' using Al (images, video, audio) to create a virtual post-death version of that person, who can 'talk to loved ones left behind, kind of creeps me out. But that's just me. For some people, it's apparently comforting and therapeutic. Patrick, Tiff and I cover quite a bit of ground in …

#1884 Listener Questions - Harps 32:25

21d ago32:25

32:25

I threw out the invitation, and in those questions came. Over the next few weeks, l'll record and post a few of these eps where l'm exploring different topics, ideas and questions sent in by you; our trusty and loyal TYP’ers. In this ep I explore training with dodgy knees, backs and general old-person injuries and issues, being motivated but not di…

#1883 The Room Of Mirrors - Russ Jarrett 53:33

22d ago53:33

53:33

By the end of June (2025) @pilates will comprise thirty Pilates studios; not a bad effort considering the organisation was little more than an idea for Russell and Tara Jarrett just four years ago. What I love most about their story is that is that these two are becoming peak performers in their 50's (Russ is 57, Tara 56) and having known them for …

#1882 The Sit-Down Society - Harps 32:25

24d ago32:25

32:25

We sit more than ever. We move less than ever. And it's wrecking our health. In this episode, I unpack why sitting for eight-plus hours a day (with no movement) carries a death risk similar to smoking. From metabolic dysfunction to muscle atrophy, to brain fog to increased disease risk, we're paying the price for comfort. I share some facts, ask so…

#1881 Becoming Ungiveupable - Harps 45:53

25d ago45:53

45:53

Apologies team, I’m away from the mic today (back tomorrow) but in the spirit of ‘a daily podcast’, I thought we’d revisit our all-time most popular, most listened to, and most shared podcast. For whatever reason, this message resonated powerfully with many people and we have never received more feedback about any episode. For some of you it will b…

#1880 The Psychology of Buying & Selling - Bobby Cappuccio 45:52

26d ago45:52

45:52

In this episode, Bobby and I talk about how, why and when people buy stuff (especially stuff they don't necessarily need), the psychology, perception and story of value, selling in a way that doesn't look or feel like selling, understanding what we're really selling (beyond the obvious product or service), establishing our own commercial worth in a…

#1879 More Mental Health Issues or Just More Diagnoses? - Dr. Hannah Korrel 49:03

27d ago49:03

49:03

Dr. Hannah is back and not only is she a Doctor of Neuropsychology but now (and even more impressive) she's a mum! As always the energy, info and inspo (as the kids call it) was great and we had fun chatting about the chasm between theoretical and experiential learning, the ever-increasing rate of diagnoses of mental health conditions, knowing when…

#1878 An Ego Dancing Unconsciously - Josh Piterman 56:55

28d ago56:55

56:55

How much free will do we actually have? How much are we controlled, determined, and driven by our genetics? And brain chemistry? Subconscious mind? Decades of programming? Fear? Of course, we love to think we're in control, but are we? TYP favourite Josh Piterman is back telling us about his new book (Behind the Mask) and along the way we do a deep…

#1877 Not All Protein is Equal - David Gillespie 32:11

29d ago32:11

32:11

Gillespo and the old-bodgey lifter of heavy things opened the protein door and had some fun exploring the science, the stories, the misinformation, the assumptions and the challenges for people eating certain types of diets. Enjoy. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.By Craig Harper

#1876 Discipline Is Freedom - Nicole Liddell 1:01:03

1M ago1:01:03

1:01:03

According to Nicole Liddell, "discipline is freedom" and if what she's been able to change, achieve and create over the last ten years is a byproduct of discipline, then I'd have to agree with her. Navigating mental health issues, obesity, poverty, domestic violence and a range of other challenges, and then evolving into the inspiration she is toda…

#1874 Success...And Then What? - Harps 25:36

1M ago25:36

25:36

This episode is me thinking out-loud about success. The idea of it. The experience of it. The cultural story of it. The marketing and branding of it. What it is and isn't. Why some 'successful people' are miserable and some people that society would label poor are mentally, emotionally and experientially rich. Why we keep moving the goal posts. Why…

#1873 Dodgy Backs - Dr. Jeff Gross 52:45

1M ago52:45

52:45

Not only is Dr. Jeff a specialist in regenerative stem cell medicine, anti-aging, longevity and integrative medicine but he's also a spine fellowship trained neurological surgeon. So, not an idiot then. With that in mind, this episode we decided to talk all-things 'dodgy backs'. Muscle stuff. Skeleton stuff. Sitting-on-our-arse stuff. Exercise and …

#1872 Perv Glasses - Patrick Bonello 1:02:17

1M ago1:02:17

1:02:17

Hi Team, our tech nerd is back and here's what came up this time... Smart sunglasses with a built-in video camera/recorder that's recording you when you don't know; what could possibly go wrong? Jobs falling by the wayside as Al becomes the new much-cheaper 'preferred employee' for many companies. Nuclear batteries the size of a coin that will last…

#1871 The Science & Business Of Coaching - Bobby Cappuccio 42:49

1M ago42:49

42:49

The last two decades has seen the proliferation of 'Coaching' and not the sporting kind; the other kind. Or should I say, 'kinds'. Life Coaches. Business Coaches. Health Coaches. High-Performance Coaches. Nutrition Coaches. Relationship Coaches. Mental Health Coaches. Mindset Coaches. Leadership Coaches. Executive Coaches. Fitness Coaches. The List…

Hi TYP’ers. I’m interstate at the moment, so today we're revisiting one of my favourite chats with Charlie Morley. Enjoy. *“The essence of Buddhism: (1) don’t be a dick (2) be kind to people (3) train your mind” – Charlie Morley (Buddhist Teacher). I didn’t want this episode to end.

#1869 "Just Try Harder" & Other Stupid Advice - Dr. Lillian Nejad 54:27

1M ago54:27

54:27

Well, Dr. Lillian and I definitely opened the vulnerability door in this episode.

#1868 Sneaky Little Manipulators - Dr. Sam Casey 44:03

1M ago44:03

44:03

In this episode of TYP, Dr. Sam and I chat about being 'hangry' (it's a real thing!), incidental vs. structured learning, bullying, how much praise is too much (when can it become a negative?), separation anxiety, when to give kids access to social media (etc.), kids finding their identity, the pros and cons of kids in sport, kids manipulating pare…

#1867 Tall Poppy Syndrome, Flow States & Cellulite - Dr. Denise Furness 1:03:48

1M ago1:03:48

Dr. Denise pulls back the curtain, destroys the mystery and tells us about the very recent arrival of her... cellulite. She's not happy. What started out as a regular TYP episode with one of the smartest minds and best science communicators in Australia, somehow transformed into something of a private coaching session (for the Doc) - complete with …

#1865 When Nobody's Cheering - Bobby Cappuccio 58:25

1M ago58:25

58:25

Sometimes what matters most is what we can do when nobody's watching, cheering, helping or even caring. How productive and effective we can be when it's just.. us. You. Me. Having support and the occasional cheer squad is nice (of course) but some of us spend much of our lives without such gifts, without many resources and with very little external…

#1864 Some Sanity In The Food Madness - Simon Hill 52:14

1M ago52:14

52:14

Apart from being a ripping bloke, brilliant educator, great conversationalist, simplifier of - what can be - complex information and an anti-bullsh*tter, Simon Hill is one of the most respected voices (in the world) when it comes to the minefield that is, nutrition. In the middle of the sale's pitches, hysteria, food cults and pseudo-science, Simon…

#1863 Why Choosing Easy Leads To Hard - Harps 17:29

1M ago17:29

17:29

Here's the conundrum... people want to be strong, resilient, capable, high-performing and successful but... at the same time, they want comfort. Convenience. Instant gratification. Reward without work. Success without pain. Don't believe me? Take a look at the ocean of 'magic pills' and quick-fixes on offer to help you and me bypass the discomfort,…

Dr. Cam is back, sharing how to get the most out of your grey and white matter, and offering his top strategies and protocols for keeping those neurons wiring and firing at their best.

#1860 Instinct, Intuition & Inexplicable Knowledge - Harps 25:37

2M ago25:37

25:37

There's a kind of knowing that doesn't come from books, degrees, research papers, TED Talks or even, good-old TYP. It's not downloaded from the internet. It's not something you can Google. You didn't 'learn it’ somewhere. It doesn't ask for permission. It doesn't speak in paragraphs. It whispers. Nudges. It tugs at your sleeve. And sometimes it pun…

#1859 Riding Robot Wolves & Chatting to Dolphins - Patrick Bonello 54:56

2M ago54:56

54:56

According to Patrick, in the near future he and I will be buying twin four-legged, hydrogen-powered, robots designed by Kawasaki to be ridden by humans. He calls them 'rideable robotic wolves'. At this point I'd rather be sitting on a good old-fashioned noisy dirt bike that can't think for itself but I guess we'll see how it all goes. We also talk …

#1858 Neurosis, Anxiety & Trust Issues - Bobby Cappuccio 51:18

2M ago51:18

51:18

Surprising I know, but Bobby and I have issues. There I said it. Shocker. And in this TYP instalment we talk about the pros and cons of trust, being driven by anxiety (for good and bad), navigating life with Tourette's (Bobby), the irony of people who don't have their sh*t together teaching people how to... get their sh*t together, reading between …

#1857 The Wisdom Of Your Body - Dr. Jodi Richardson 1:05:54

2M ago1:05:54

1:05:54

In some ways, Dr. Jodi and I are peas in a metaphoric pod. We've both had our battles with food, exercise, weight, body image, self-esteem, self-worth, eating issues and all the psychological, emotional and sociological stuff that intersects with the 'body' stuff. As is often the way on TYP, this conversation was not the one we intended to have, go…

Tricky. Complicated. Devastating. Healing. Painful. Joyful. Personal. Silly. Serious. Professional. Strategic. Selfless. Stagnant. Dynamic. Relationships are an ever-present part of the human experience (of course) and when we throw in all the psychological, emotional, physical, personal, professional, financial and practical variables, well... no …
